I plan on going abroad in the coming year & want to know enough of the local language to ask basic things. Does anyone know something like 100 or 250 words that I could memorize to get across basic ideas & questions? I don’t care about being grammatical correct just enough to cave man speak during my time there.
This might sound daft but I’ve traveled for years and literally found that mime, the more extravagant the better, works fine.
Agreed. It’s too difficult to learn phrases like “Help, I’m trapped in an invisible box” and “There is an unexpected rope here” in a new language.
